When Mama Sang (The Angels Stopped To Listened)

George Jones · The Gospel Collection [2003]

Mama didn't have special trainin'

She couldn't read the music, just the words

But when she'd stand to sing on Sunday mornin'

She had the sweetest voice I think I've, I've ever heard.



She loved to sing the songs about our Savior

"There is a Fountain", was her favorite one

And I've seen tears run down the cheeks of sinners

By the time my mama's song was done.



When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

You could see the love light shinin' in her face

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

Now in heaven' choir she had a special places.

(Spoken)

You know my daddy wanted me to sing a song

The day that moma left us

And you know that little chuch

Was filled with all of mama's friends

And you know it seems we could all here mama singin'

When I could hear her sing her favorite, again.



(Sang)

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

You could see the love light shining in her face

When mama sang the angels stopped to listen

Now in heaven' choir she had a special places.



When mama sang the angels stopped to listen.
